The poll shows that a large majority of Americans oppose the
extension of tax breaks to people earning more than $250,000 a
year. Just 26 percent of those surveyed want the Bush-era tax
cuts extended for another year. Even fewer support a longer
extension — the poll found that only 18 percent of
those surveyed want to see a permanent extension.

Meanwhile, 47 percent said they wanted to see tax breaks extended
only for families earning less than $250,000 per year.

The new survey shows that the majority of Americans have
identified more with Obama's proposals on taxes, which include
the so-called "Buffett Rule" that would institute a
minimum 30 percent tax rate for those earning an annual income of
$1 million or more.
